答案
解析
本题考查对文章主旨的理解。文章开头指出“许多家庭并不像想象中那样安全”，随后围绕“如何提高家庭安全性”展开，列举了锁好门窗、警惕陌生人、隐藏贵重物品、不把钥匙藏在常见位置、教育孩子独自在家时的注意事项、安装报警系统、确保夜间户外照明等多个建议。
选项分析：
- A. Be suspicious of strangers（对陌生人保持警惕）：这只是文中提到的一个具体建议，并非全文主旨。
- B. Ways to keep your home safe（保持家庭安全的方法）：全文核心是通过多种方式提升家庭安全性，此选项准确概括了文章主题。
- C. How to keep your valuables or cash safe（如何保护贵重物品或现金安全）：同样是文中的一个具体建议，非全文重点。
